Ingredients:

4 medium potatoes

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 cup chopped red onion

1/4 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped dill pickles

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Step 1: Cooking the Potatoes

Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Then, place them in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.

Temperature: Medium-high heat for boiling the water

Time: 15-20 minutes for cooking the potatoes

Step 2: Preparing the Dressing

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped red onion, chopped celery, chopped fresh parsley, chopped dill pickles, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Assembling the Salad

Once the potatoes have cooled slightly, peel the skin off and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss until all the potatoes are coated with the dressing. Make sure not to overmix, as you want to keep the potatoes intact.

Step 4: Chilling and Serving

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Ensalada de Patatas for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, give the salad a quick toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Time: 1 hour for chilling
